Violent Leftwing Professor -- the Chair of the English Department -- Suspended After Flipping Table Where Republicans Were Peacefully Providing Voter Information

Don't worry, it's just some paid time off. He'll be back in class in a week or two, because the left insists that its fellow leftists have the right to attack the right without consequence.

People don't resort to "self-help" -- using violence to vindicate their rights -- because we trust, or used to trust, supposedly objective and fair institutions to vindicate our rights for us.

If that system is no longer in place -- and it's obviously not -- we will have to revert to older, more primitive, more violent methods.

Is that what the left wants? The left with their 350-pound shemales and spaghetti-armed theater kid "bullies"?

We'll see. We'll see.

The chair of the English Department at the University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire has been placed on administrative leave after allegedly flipping the College Republicans' table on campus Tuesday morning.

UW-Eau Claire Interim Provost Michael Carney confirmed the incident with Fox News.

"I am deeply concerned that our students' peaceful effort to share information on campus on election day was disrupted," Carney said in a statement. "UW-Eau Claire strongly supports every person's right to free speech and free expression, and the university remains committed to ensuring that campus is a place where a wide variety of opinions and beliefs can be shared and celebrated."

He added that "civil dialogue is a critical part of the university experience, and peaceful engagement is fundamental to learning itself."

Whatever we do, we have to continue spending trillions to fund public schools and our state-of-the-art university system.

The average college student is "functionally illiterate," writes "Hilarius Bookbinder," who teaches philosophy at a public university that attracts students with mid-range academic records.

Most students "could not read a serious adult novel cover-to-cover and understand what they read," nor do they have "the desire to try, the vocabulary to grasp what they read and most certainly not the attention span to finish," writes Bookbinder. They don't read textbooks or primary texts, "even in upper-divisions courses that students supposedly take out of genuine interest."

Students write at the eighth-grade level, he writes. They submit the cheapest cliché as novel insight.

Exam question: Describe the attitude of Dostoevsky's Underground Man towards acting in one's own self-interest, and how this is connected to his concerns about free will. Are his views self-contradictory?

Student: With the UGM its all about our journey in life, not the destination. He beleives we need to take time to enjoy the little things becuase life is short and you never gonna know what happens. Sometimes he contradicts himself cause sometimes you say one thing but then you think something else later. It's all relative.

The alternative is a coherent answer written by a bot.

The average student goes to college to qualify for a middle-class job, he writes. That's not new. But, these days, professors are seeing "a stunning level of disconnection."

Students are much more likely to skip days or weeks of class without explanation, the professor writes. If they show up, they walk out in the middle of a 50-minute class to look at their phones, to which they are addicted. Or they pretend to type notes on laptops while looking at social media. Or gambling.

Students expect faculty to do the work for them, he writes. "No, you can't have my slides. Get the notes from a classmate. Read the book. Come to office hours for a conversation if you are still confused after the preceding steps. . . .Try coming to class."

Students miss quizzes, then can't be bothered to show up for a make-up or talk to the professor about it.

The professor says that he'd like to fail most of his students -- but the administration would crucify him, because if you kicked out all of the illiterate phone-addicted dum-dums, there would not be enough money coming in to keep the university solvent.
